The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Jiang Yu understood immediately, and pulled his two senior brothers to move forward quickly using teleportation. The one who suffered the most was Chu Xingyi.

He also wanted to run fast, but a eagle was chasing him relentlessly. He swung his sword at the eagle, and the eagle dodged backwards.

He continued to run, but the eagle refused to give up and took advantage of his unpreparedness to fly over and grab his back.

Chu Xingyi swung his sword at it, and the eagle loosened its claws.

But his back was scratched by the eagle's claws, his clothes were torn, and blood flowed out.

Some of the disciples from other sects were grabbed by the eagle's backs, flown high up into the air, and then thrown to the ground with a thud, already half dead.

Some of them had their faces and bodies scratched and bleeding. They also hid everywhere and fled quickly.

Some people brandished swords and knives, and the eagle was seriously injured...

Jiang Yu and his companions came out of the forest and waited for a while before Chu Xingyi came out.

Seeing Chu Xingyi's white robe stained red, Qin Feng hurried forward: "Fifth Junior Brother, you are injured!"

Chu Xingyi looked embarrassed and nodded.

"I'll give you some medicine."

Qin Feng took out some knife wound medicine from his clothes and sprinkled it on the wound. Chu Xingyi grimaced in pain.

At this time, the cries of the eagles in the forest and the screams of the sect disciples were heard.

Qin Feng said, "There's no time to lose. They haven't caught up yet. Let's go."

The six of them walked along the road together and then entered a cave with no end. It was okay when they first came in, but the further they went in, the colder it became.

Wen Yu said: "It's too cold here. I should have worn more thick clothes."

Qin Feng explained: "This is the Hell Ice Valley. You need to use your inner strength to keep warm."

Even after using their internal energy, everyone was shivering with cold. After all, they were wearing only a single layer of clothing, and it would be strange if they weren't cold in this ice cave with temperatures dozens of degrees below zero.

System: [Master, push down the person holding the sword on your left. A flaming bead will appear. Hold it and you won't feel cold.]

Ye Qingyan saw that there was indeed a person holding a sword in front of her on the left, and the others were holding other weapons.

Ye Qingyan stopped and saw the man with the sword, and ran straight towards him.

The others also stopped, and Chu Xingyi glanced at her: "What does this loser want to do now!"

Jiang Yu glanced at Chu Xingyi and said, "Isn't it obvious who the loser is? Who is injured here?"

Chu Xingyi was about to retort, but Qin Feng stopped him with a cold face: "Just say less."

Ye Qingyan used her internal strength and pushed the ice man down with one palm. Suddenly, a box appeared under the ice man's feet.

She walked over and opened the box. Inside was a red bead as big as a baseball.

She took the beads in her hand and suddenly felt warm all over.

"Flame Pearl!"

Ye Qingyan happily came to Qin Feng and said, "Big Brother, you won't feel cold if you come closer to me."

The path in the ice cave is rugged and turns left and right. Even if you want to teleport, you don’t know where to go, so you can only walk step by step.

Chu Xingyi didn't care about anything else at this time. As long as he wasn't cold, he moved closer to Ye Qingyan.

After walking for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up.

Ye Qingyan put the beads in the backpack. Everyone sat there to warm up for a while and then continued on their way.

Not far away, I saw a door with "Xuanji Pavilion" written on it.

Qin Feng pointed at the door and said, "There are many traps here, we have to be careful.

As long as we walk out, we will be outside the main hall, and all that remains is tomorrow's competition."

Qin Feng pushed open the door and saw a platform under his feet that could accommodate twenty or thirty people standing there.

To get to the other side, you have to cross the cellar below, and you can only do so by using light skills.

If your lightness skills are not good enough, you will fall down, and you don’t know how to get up!

Everyone was worried about Ye Qingyan, so Qin Feng said, "Junior Sister, Junior Brother Tang and I will carry you over together."

Ye Qingyan was very touched: "No, if I fall, you will fall too. Don't worry, I can make it."

Chu Xingyi said, "Big Brother, Xiaoqi said she can go through, so just let her go by herself.

This is a matter of life and death. If she dies, our Qingyang Sect will have one less useless person."

Ye Qingyan looked at Chu Xingyi with a smile: "Fifth Brother, how about we make a bet?

If I can make it through, you give me 10,000 taels of silver. If I fall, I will accept my fate."

Chu Xingyi was hoping that she would fall into the lava. "Okay, if you can jump over it, I'll admit defeat and give you 10,000 taels of silver."

Jiang Yu cheered from the side: "Chu Laowu, don't go back on your word, everyone is watching us."

Chu Xingyi's eyes showed determination, "Don't worry, I keep my word."

Jiang Yu looked at Ye Qingyan: "Junior sister, can you do it? No, let's not gamble anymore. This is a gamble of life!"

Ye Qingyan pretended to be scared and said, "I can do it, I will definitely do it, I will give it my all.

If I were to fall down there and die, Sixth Brother, remember to burn some paper money for me every year. I don’t want to be a poor ghost without any money.”

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it."

Wen Yu stopped her: "Little Junior Sister, don't go over there. Senior Sister will take you over."

Ye Qingyan smiled slightly: "Don't worry."

Chu Xingyi was so proud in his heart: You country bumpkin, go to hell.

Ye Qingyan stood at the side, gathering her Qi in her Dantian. She glanced at Chu Xingyi again and said, "Don't deny your debt!"

Then he leaped to the other side.

Ye Qingyan pretended to be very scared: "I'm so scared, so scared, I'm never coming here again."

Chu Xingyi was horrified at the time and pointed at Ye Qingyan: "You, you actually jumped over."

Jiang Yu said, "I want to go over too!" and then jumped over easily.

Others passed by one after another.

Of course, if people with weak martial arts skills don’t dare to go there, they can also return the same way.

We continued to move forward...

Royal Palace

The Queen Mother was released from house arrest and was allowed to leave her palace.

As soon as she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she met Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine smiled and bowed, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen!"

The Queen was gentle and dignified: "No need to be so polite, Concubine!"

Xian Fei continued, "Empress, you don't know that during your confinement, the Emperor often came to my palace, and I often urged him to restore your freedom."

The Empress raised her eyebrows. "Really? But the Emperor said that I would only be confined to the palace for a month. Now that the time is up, the palace gates can be opened."

The virtuous concubine smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

At this time, Xiang Fei came over from behind. She bowed and said, "Empress!"

"Sister Xianfei is really good at talking. Last night, the Emperor came to my palace and said that the Empress's house arrest would be lifted tomorrow. How could this be a favor from Sister Xianfei?"

The virtuous concubine looked embarrassed, and the queen hurried to smooth things over: "Well, it's all in the past, there's no need to argue about it, I know what's going on.

As long as you do your best to serve the Emperor, you can go about your own business. I will go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."

Xian Fei and Xiang Fei bowed and said, "I'll take my leave!"

The two glared at each other, neither willing to give in, and each went back to their bedroom.

The emperor also inquired about Leng Jiuyuan's condition every day. People who came back said that Prince Zhan was seriously ill and rarely went out, which made the emperor feel relieved.
